I am on giffgaff (uk). Based abroad (outside eu) maybe 23 months out of 24 during covid it was nearer 3.5 years between visits

I have 20gbp of credit and perhaps send a text once every year or so. Receiving text messages cost me nothing and i get them maybe once/month, usually from the bank.

Seems to work fine, no plan or anything.

Per-core licences coming to Windows Server and System Center 2016

Re: Oh Joy!

That's the same as today. Have a physical box with 2 CPUs but 16 ht cores each. Each vm needs to be licensed to 2 CPUs irrespective of whether it is configured with 1 or 32 vCPUs

Cryptowall 4.0: Update makes world's worst ransomware worse still

Re: Straw poll...

unfortunately whilst Applocker may be the best defence on a budget that many people have, it isn't a complete solution,

for example you probably allow IE or Word to run, Applocker doesn't monitor what those processes execute and you are still at risk of this.

The latest iteration of Craptolocker does make it difficult, databases can be tested if you have something like Veeam SureBackup, individual files is far harder.

Docker's app containers are coming to Windows Server, says Microsoft

Just like Parallels Virtuozzo?

That required licenses for each containerised application, can't see why this would be different.

Main limit on Parallels was that if you wanted to install some software in a container that required Kernel or zone 0 access then it simply wouldn't work, everything was required to be in user space, for example you never used to be able to install Citrix in a container (haven't tried XA7 with VDA).

We had to leave that because of too many cases where some software wouldn't work because of some driver or other and they had to control which Windows Updates you could deploy.

MS running this I think is a great step forwards since at least Windows Updates will be designed to cater for this situation, though at this stage I don't think it supports any real server operations beyond simple .net / web. IMO should have just bought Parallels and made it more compliant.

Guess Solaris zones is similar but things are designed to be run in user space anyway
